Italy - a place where dreams are made and realized.
There's plenty that will captivate your heart and imagination on a small group tour from Rome to Venice. From posing with the iconic leaning tower of Pisa and marveling at the colorful Cinque Terre to discovering the winding canals of Venice and indulging in decadent foods your tastebuds are going to love, this picturesque country has a little something for everyone.
Rome to Venice highlights
Wander Rome’s famous landmarks
No doubt you’ve seen photographs staring at you from the pages of magazines, but nothing compares to seeing the likes of the Colosseum, the Trevi fountain, and St Peter’s Basilica up close and in real life. Marvel at the ancient architecture and listen to your local leader as they tell stories of each monument’s history, ticking them off the bucket list as you go.
Have a go at making your own pasta
Italian cuisine is up there with some of the tastiest food in the world – think pizza, pasta, risotto, and gelato just to name a few – and while eating it is delicious, crafting it with your bare hands is something else entirely. On your Italian adventure, get the chance to make your own pasta (and eat it afterwards) in the medieval and charming town of Bologna.
Step into a fairytale in Lake Como
There are few destinations in the world dreamier than Lake Como and with its romantic scenery, medieval remnants, and heavenly lake, it’s easy to see why it captivates traveler’s hearts (and fills up camera rolls). Get lost in this region’s beauty and get caught up in its history by visiting time-worn buildings including Villa Balbianello, Villa Melzi Gardens, Vezio Castle, and Villa Carlotta.
Float along the beautiful canals of Venice
Venice is simply one of those destinations you have to visit at least once in your lifetime if not for the local eateries and attractions, then for the magical canals that replace the cobblestones other European city streets are known for. From the breathtaking and detailed architecture reflected in the water to the graceful gondolas themselves, lose yourself in the romance of this unforgettable place.
Cycle through the Tuscan countryside
There’s plenty to see in Tuscany from olive tree fields to rolling green hills and one of the best ways to make sure you’ve done it all is to swap your two feet for two wheels. Not only will cycling some of the country’s best landscapes ensure you’ll sightsee more efficiently, but it’ll also tire you out and guarantee you’ll need to refuel with a big plate of pasta or a helping of pizza. That’s what we call a win/win.
Sample some world-class local wines
What goes hand in hand with Italian food? Italian wine of course! Boasting high quality and a large number of vineyards (1.5 million acres of vineyards to be exact), Italy is one of the best European countries to get your drink on from the enchanting Calabria to the prolific Tuscany. So, head out with your group when you get to Piedmont for your own private tasting of local grape-grown wine.
